The Abigail Mysteries

Actually the story was pretty good , the acting was OK and I did enjoy the twists and turns right up until Abigail starting praying for help to solve the case or get on with her life - hard to tell - it was a unnecessary distraction in an other wise decent mystery movie . - while on the subject I just recently started watching GAF and the similarities between it an Hallmark could fill a book , except for GAF obvious effort to cater to evangelicals - the GAF effort to indoctrinate religion into many of their shows is annoying - and Abigail Mysteries is a classic example - I would have given this story an 8 if they had just stopped asking God for help.

I love this. Is it perfect? No, but it is nice and it's just like the Love Inspired Suspense books I read. You get the best of both worlds. A movie that shows the Lord and a cozy murder mystery. I just love those books and always wished that there was a TV series or movie like them. I was so excited when I happened upon this. If you don't love the Lord it still has a good mystery to follow and if you do love the Lord all the better.

I am so thankful for writers who aren't ashamed of the Lord and actors willing to speak of the Lord.

Mysteries happen to Christians too and it's foolish to think that you can't solve a crime and be a Christian. Many police officers are Christians too in real life, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that there can be Christian true crime Podcasters.

Trite. Way Too much praying. Way too much Poppa. Too much sniffling. Best part was when she was whacked for snooping around. Guy hanging around outside again and again. Too obvious man was not related. Too obvious who evil person was too. Too many potted plants in the mix. No one actually looked in the coop. Mean old boss. Plot too slow. No follow up on obvious mystery elements. Convoluted. No intermittent resolutions of the clues. Belongs as part of Sunday morning Church Service. Praying they find new writers, directors and supporting cast. Everyone way to bland. Could have been good. But, too far off on every component.

I was looking forward to seeing what kind of mystery GAC might offer because I do enjoy a nice cozy mystery, but I couldn't even follow the mystery plot in this movie. The plot was constantly interrupted by random discussions of religion between the main character Abby and well every other character. I guess this was an attempt to differentiate from Hallmark channel and appeal to the GAC base but goodness please first nail down the plot and develop the characters. Signed, Sealed, Delivered was a very successful mystery movie series with religious overtones that didn't have me cringing or reaching for the remote.

A reviewer called this a Jesus Hallmark movie. If you are not religious or spiritual, skip this one.

Abigail (Ansley Gordon) is a young woman who returns to her home town after a miscarriage which sadly led to a divorce. She does mystery podcasts, and when a neighbor dies suddenly, she suspects foul play.

The neighbor who passed away seems to be leaving Abby clues in the form of Bible passages. Abigail's grandfather is a minister, and her policeman childhood friend (Bret Green) attends church regularly. Abby has become detached from her faith due to her unhappiness. The case reintroduces her.

I was not familiar with this series - it's from the Great American Family network, a Hallmark rival with a more religious bent, it seems.

I don't mind spirituality of hearing the Bible, and in today's world and at my age the passages are comforting. However, this isn't much of a mystery, and the acting is just okay.

There is a place for every form of entertainment- this is geared to a niche audience. Not for everyone.
